As I don't find a usable Amazon product import module (let me know if I'm wrong :-), I come here for help - I have a simple site with amazon module (http://drupal.org/project/amazon) installed. It works well showing product data for given ASIN.
My question is, are there any solution to:
1. Get ASIN for all products under a given Amazon category, saying Digital SLRs, and
2. Create a node for each ASIN (then amazon module will show the product data), and
3. Parse the amazon product data and store the data in corresponding CCK fields. for example, brand, author, price, color.
If you are experienced with both Amazon api and Drupal, don't hesitate to give a proposal. Please indicate how much you would like to charge and how long you may deliver it. Thank you in advance.

Amazon Store module, Browsenodes.com
Hi - If you're not familiar with the Amazon Store module, you should take a look. It is not node-oriented, but instead uses the Amazon Product Marketing API to get all the info about an item. It has the feature of searching using Browse Nodes, which are nodes of a particular category, like you seem to want.
You can explore browse nodes using http://browsenodes.com.
One of the issues with using Amazon data as nodes is that it basically violates the Amazon agreement, which requires you to cache most data for at most 24 hours.

Randy, Amazon Store is great. However we want to try storing products in nodes for some more interesting features. Thank you the same, Randy.
Agree
My ideal scenario would be the equivaleny of feedapi node. Read in the products, create nodes and then keep these up to date using cron

Bump - exactly the kind of functionality I am looking for. Amazon allows us to define feeds from their site using (Amazon's) tags, though the feed output is limited to 15 items. But it is pretty inefficient. Better to have a more granular Amazon search with the ability to assign our own taxonomy terms
